Many visitors to the campus during the summer months have discovered that one of the easiest ways to learn about Yale's landmarks, legends and lore is to take a guided tour of the campus. Free tours (lasting about an hour) are offered daily by student guides from the Yale Visitor Center. The office also provides maps of the University, books, postcards, videos and a schedule of guided tours. Its hours are 9 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Volunteers from the New Haven community also offer free one-hour walking tours around the New Haven Green that begin at the Yale Visitor Center. These "New Haven First" tours inform participants of some of the cultural and technological advances that originated in New Haven or were introduced by city residents.
During the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, the Yale Visitor Center will also offer a series of special tours of Yale and city sights. These will include tours of the Yale museums and several other University buildings; contemporary architecture at Yale and in New Haven; historical sites and spots around the city; and community gardens and green spaces in the area. In addition, there will be a self-guided architectural treasure hunt around the Yale campus for children. Further information on these will be posted in the Calendar section of the Yale Bulletin & Calendar.
